i was the same way with my bp. i knew it was sky high. i didn't want to hear it from my doc.

i didn't want to see my liver numbers until the body had some time to heal.

fortunately everything looks great. my primary physician is a great guy and knows how i've battled. he's watched me quit 2 other times and is very proud that this one has stuck so far.

says i'm in great health for an old man....and he's older than me!!! is that any way to treat a patient???

tho' the human body has a great capacity for healing itself i sometimes catch myself wondering how much of my lifespan i took off with my abusive drinking. i love every day now and am in no hurry to get out of here.
